“Bruce, we reboot the server each morning when we come in. This keeps it from crashing,” my new client told me as we discussed the action plan we put together to make their network stable and problem free. As I tried to figure out how to respond to this, he went on to ask me if rebooting his server would be covered under Fixed IT. The answer is YES, if you want your server rebooted every day, we will do it for you. However if you are rebooting your server every day or even once a week, there is something else going on! In this customer’s case their backups were not set up correctly by their last vendor (who never seemed to get around to calling my new customer back, good for us, bad for them). Each night this backup process would get locked up and cause the server to fail when the staff arrived and started to log in to the network. Moreover, they were not even getting a complete backup of the data on the server!

The celebration of Dynamic Edge customers started on Saturday with dinner at Miro District, one of my favorite places for a drink in Nashville.
Yes, we do provide Miro District’s computer and server support as well as all of their website deign. But did you know that we also give them feedback on their martini and wine selection?
Back to Michigan on Monday and found that Debra made Jiffy Cornbread Muffins for the team! Tasty. We provide all of the web design and database programming for their website. (and we are getting ready to release an update!)
